Micah 5:4

4And he shall stand aand shepherd his flock bin the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now che shall be great
to the ends of the earth.

Haggai 1:2-8

2Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” 3Then the word of the Lord came dby the hand of Haggai the prophet, 4 e“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while fthis house lies in ruins? 5Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: gConsider your ways. 6 hYou have sown much, and harvested little. iYou eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who jearns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

7Thus says the Lord of hosts: kConsider your ways. 8Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that lI may take pleasure in it and that mI may be glorified, says the Lord.

Zechariah 1:3-4

3Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: nReturn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and oI will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 pDo not be like your fathers, qto whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, rReturn from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But sthey did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord.

Zechariah 4:6-10

6Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to tZerubbabel: uNot by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. 7Who are you, vO great mountain? Before wZerubbabel xyou shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward ythe top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

8Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 z“The hands of aaZerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also abcomplete it. acThen you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. 10 adFor whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see aethe plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.

afThese seven agare the eyes of the Lord, ahwhich range through the whole earth.”
